Notes

I am doing something kind of unusual here and knitting myself a sweater! Very exciting. I love how chunky this yarn is, which will make knitting very quick - at least, that’s the plan.

Sept 13, 2010 - Done! Well, everything but the blocking and the button eyes.

This pattern does knit up quick. I would have been finished it really quickly if i didn’t knit a pig, bunny and baby blanket during this time as well. ah well, babies happen.

The yarn is so soft and warm. Bring on the autumn weather, I’m prepared!

Nov 5, 2010 - I just finished this sweater, again. I ended up frogging it to the below the owls as where you wrapped and turned to dip the yolk left me with a few holes in a rather undesirable position. I figured I’d rather reknit it than feel disappointed every time i wore it. But it’s finished now with the button eyes and everything.
